Moving to Mexico
Congratulations on your move to Mexico! Your quality of life is about to improve, not to mention the fulfillment of your dream.
Purchasing health insurance will not only protect that dream, but also enhance your life, well-being, and financial future!
When to Purchase a Health Insurance Plan?
There is no better time than the present to purchase a plan.
Here are some recommendations:
If you are moving to Mexico, purchase a plan before you relocate.
If you have another health insurance plan, it is wise to purchase a plan before your current plan expires.
If you are taking medications or have had surgeries (pre-existing conditions), ask for a consultation on how your medical conditions may be covered.
If you have a specific budget for health insurance, calculate just how much you can afford a month.
Purchasing a health plan when you are healthy is a good thing. The onset of a sudden or serious illness (cancer, heart disease, appendicitis) or a traumatic event (fall, car crash) can leave you with staggering medical bills. The inability to pay high medical bills in Mexico is one of the most common reasons why people have to return to their home country.
